Jess has done an exceptional job in the training and quipping of Life Group Leaders at CLEAR Ministries
At Clear Ministries, are passionate about Life Groups because we believe that Life Groups are Life Changing
When I reflect on my own personal journey growing up in church life, I can only think of a handful
of times that I have not been connected to a life group. My earliest memories of life groups include
school nights filled with long conversations in the living room, Tim-Tams, doing homework with
friends and staying up way past bed-time while my parents hosted a thriving life group. In the many
years since these days, I have attended, hosted, led and written study notes for life groups. I have
come to believe that Life Groups really are life changing!
I believe that Life Groups provide unparalleled opportunities for discipleship and a wonderful
environment in which to build strong relationships. Life groups are a place where people can grow
in many areas of ministry, including learning to share thoughts, pray for people and move in the
different gifts of the spirit. Finally, Life Groups are a place where the people in our church
community find support, encouragement and a sense of family.
‘One of them, an expert in the law, tested Jesus with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? ’ Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40
When Jesus was asked what the most important commandment was, He pointed to relationships:
our relationship with God, and our relationship with others. At Clear Ministries, we believe that life
groups should be focused on building, strengthening and deepening these two aspects of
relationships. They should draw us closer to Jesus, and into more meaningful relationships with
others. This simple vision is at the heart of Life Groups at Clear Ministries.
Yes, there are many other facets to great life groups. They provide incredible opportunities to study
God’s word, ask honest questions and have vibrant discussions, but we are ultimately designed to
be in relationship with God and relationship with others, and life groups must always help people
to grow in these two areas.
Lifegroups are important in the life of church, it is a place of welcoming and a place of acceptance. It is also a place where you can share personal issues in a safe environment. We pray together, worship together and do Bible Study and grow together.
Lifegroup also creates an opportunity where you do life with others.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
